Guest posting outreach, from the right sites to a live link
Find sites in your niche that already publish guest posts, read their rules before you pitch, reach the editor from your own inbox, and make sure the link stays dofollow after it goes live.
Why most guest post pitches go nowhere
Editors who accept guest posts get more pitches than they can read. Most of the rejected ones fail for the same few reasons.
The site doesn't take guest posts
Pitching a blog that has never published a contributor wastes a send, and a little of your sender reputation.
The pitch ignores the guidelines
Word counts, link rules and banned topics are often published. A pitch that skips them is the easiest one to delete.
It reaches the wrong inbox
A pitch sent to support@ or a sales address rarely reaches whoever runs the editorial calendar.
The link changes after publishing
Months later, the link is switched to nofollow, relabelled sponsored or quietly removed, and nobody checks.
How guest posting works, step by step
A guest post is a trade: you write a genuinely useful article for their readers, and they credit you with a link. Here is how to run it at volume without it turning into spam.
Find sites that already publish guest posts
The best prospects already link to your competitors, because they cover your topic. Among those, look for write-for-us or contribute pages.
In TaskGlazeTake the gap from your competitors' backlinks into the CRM, and method detection tags each domain. A site with a write-for-us page classifies as Guest Post.
Backlink typesQualify before you pitch
A smaller site that covers your topic is worth more than a big one that ignores it. Check relevance and quality before you spend a pitch.
In TaskGlazeWebsite Authority and spam score sit on every domain. The same detection pass judges niche fit and pulls the contributor guidelines: word counts, link policy and what they won't accept.
Backlink analysisFind the editor
Pitch the person who runs the blog or the contributor program, not a general inbox.
In TaskGlazeFind Contact crawls the domain for published addresses and scores each one. Pick the editor over the generic inbox from the list of candidates.
Outreach CRMPitch topics, not yourself
Offer two or three specific headlines that fit their readers and that the site hasn't covered. Keep it short, with one clear ask.
In TaskGlazeStart from the guest post template, or let Write with AI draft a short email for that prospect from its site and your target page, from Starter up.
Email outreachFollow up, then write
Follow up once or twice, politely. When they say yes, write to their guidelines and agree the link and anchor before you submit.
In TaskGlazeSequences stop on reply. Target URL, requested anchor, content requirements and any deal price live on the prospect record.
Outreach CRMMake sure the link stays
Once the post is live, check the link points where it should and is still dofollow. Then keep checking.
In TaskGlazeAdd the post as a placement and it is re-checked on a schedule, with dofollow, nofollow, sponsored and UGC classified and any change flagged.
Link monitoring
Built for guest posting at volume
What helps when you're running dozens of guest post conversations at once.
Guest post prospects in one view
Filter your pipeline by link type and work every guest post prospect in one sitting, with the matching template.
Guidelines on the record
When a site publishes contributor guidelines, they are pulled onto the prospect, so the writer sees them before drafting.
Paid and earned, kept apart
If a site charges a fee, the deal price is on the record, and monitoring notices if a link is relabelled sponsored.
Several mailboxes, one pipeline
Spread pitches across your own mailboxes, each with its own daily cap, and see every reply against the right prospect.
“There are still many good reasons to do some guest blogging (exposure, branding, increased reach, community, etc.). Those reasons existed way before Google and they'll continue into the future.”

Frequently asked questions
Questions guest post outreach teams ask us most. Can't find yours? Write to us and a real person will answer.
Start from the sites already linking to your competitors, since they cover your topic. Send them to the CRM and TaskGlaze tags each domain with the link type it gives out. Sites that publish a write-for-us or contribute page classify as Guest Post, and you can filter your pipeline to just those.
No. It helps with the outreach email: templates for every plan, and AI drafting from Starter up. The article itself is yours to write, to the guidelines TaskGlaze pulled from the site.
Done for readers, yes. Google's spam policies list links with optimized anchor text in guest posts as link spam, so the mass-produced, keyword-anchored kind is what stopped working. Genuinely useful articles for relevant sites still earn exposure, referral traffic and links.
Many do. A paid link should carry rel="sponsored" or nofollow. The CRM records the deal price, and link monitoring shows which rel value the published link actually carries.
Each connected mailbox has its own daily cap, 300 by default and adjustable, inside your plan's monthly outreach volume. The plan cards above show the monthly numbers.
